A121 Cheshunt link road. (Hertfordshire)

The A121 was constructed in the late 1990s. The daul carriageway is only 1/2 mile long but a few houses in Hedworth avenue and Leven close had to be demolished to make way for the new road.

Can be found on Ordnance Survey Landranger Map 166. See location on multimap. Click here for an Aerial Photo

These 4 photos show the A121 before construction, early stages of construction, work in progress and the same view after completion (tree has survived on all 4 photos).
